Yokohama St Honore

My newest favorite pastry: has everything I love in one compact muffin-​esque shape. Has red bean, cream, bread and green tea powder. What is there not to love?!

By most measures, this bakery, located on the corner of Mitsuwa’s supermarket, should probably have earned four stars. Sadly, service can sometimes be an issue…
A few days ago, there were at least three loaves of bread that were labeled $ 2.50 even though many other loaves of the exact same size were labeled $ 3.60. I pulled the two $ 2.50 breads from the display and attempted to pay for them, only to be told that there was a «fluke» and that they were both $ 3.60. When I asked whether we could just purchase them for $ 2.50, I was told no. The person behind the counter even took the breads away and re-​labeled them. If this were Asia, I probably wouldn’t write anything, but in the United States generally, business owners allow mis-​labeled items to become the customer’s bargain to maintain customer loyalty and goodwill. This did not occur here.
Pissed off, my wife took the last $ 2.50 bread to the cashier on the Mitsuwa supermarket side and paid $ 2.50 for it there.
This place retains three stars because the items here are really quite good. Aside from the «fluke» described above, I was treated nicely most other times, and I am confident that this will not happen again. Well, I am paying for all my purchases at the cashiers within Mitsuwa Supermarket from now on, so I am ensuring that nothing like this ever occurs again.

Updating my review as I finally tried the Boloniya bread which is very good … kind of like a loaf of croissant bread. The cheese bread is also delicious, with bacon in it. Also, the bakery now takes debit and credit cards.

I believe they changed the name of this bakery, but the recipes and selection are just as delicious as they have always been. Whenever I go to mitsuwa I have to bring home creampuffs from this bakery for all of my friends and family otherwise they get upset! Good prices, good quality, friendly staff. A+

The price is right here– $ 1.80 is the average price for buns and breads. Good selections and lots of turnover/​fast serve. Yummy. Stuff gets sold out fast.

The desserts here are amazing – some of the best I’ve ever had. Everything here is extremely fresh, and you can taste it. None of that sitting-​out-​all-​day crap that many bakeries do. The fruit is well-​ripened, the whipped cream is beautifully piped, and all of the sweets are decorated to perfection. My suggestion? Try anything with fruit on it (e.g., fruit tart, strawberry tart, or strawberry shortcake) and you won’t regret it. They also make the most heavenly pastry cream, so anything filled with that is fantastic, especially the crème puffs. Hell, I even tried their coffee jello – ’twas surprisingly tasty, and I don’t particularly like jello either.
Regarding their savory stuff, I’ve only tried the ham roll. After picking off the onions (and there were plenty of those…) I found it to be mediocre. I have heard great things about their Boloniya bread and their mochi donuts though, so I’ll have to try to get my hands on those during my next visit.

It’s Japanese style bakery inside of Mitsuwa market. Love their curry donut, green tea cake, onion&ham bun… etc. Among of them curry donut is my personal favorite. Cannot compare with other Asian bakery’s curry donuts. Line can be complicated and long at times, staffs are not organized in busy hours. Once baked breads are sold out, you have to wait for the next day. They only bakes small amount of breads. Lately I saw they are selling mochi donut dipped in chocolate, very delicious also. It has different texture compare with other donuts, more chewy like mochi.

The Bolognia bread is what keeps the lights on at this place and is all the rage here. $ 7 bucks a loaf and it is worth every penny. however, you are limited to two loaves per person. Get there by 11 am and the bolognia bread is sold out. The mystic of the bologni bread is that it pretty much tastes like really dam good home made bread. Try it and it will be your newest vice.
Otherwise its your standard Asian bakery with your curry croquettes, potato croquettes, the mysteriously popular only in asia, potato salad sandwich. All my none asian friends always chuckle when they see that and I can say is hey asians like potato salad in between two pieces of bread.
The Moochi donuts are also pretty dam good here.

Delicious baked goods. Japanese Pastries, and according to another user, they have Danish Breads.
They offer a closing clearance sale from about an hour before they pack up shop. Interesting way to familiarize yourself with Japanese baked goods. Plus if you get something which you haven’t acquired a taste for yet, then you’re only out a buck. So GET EXPLORIN’
The English speaking girl behind the counter is always helpful. Super sweet.
They have «British style» Bread (it has a big British Flag on it). It’s huge slices of Bread (that are awesome for grilled cheese or French Toast). We’re talking half inch thick bread. Worth trying.
Plus, they have yummy raisin bread. It’s pull-​apart (love that stuff), so enjoy the tactile sensation of this delicious raisiny goodness.
Other things you need to try when you’re here is one of two roll sandwiches. The first is crispy, fish and chips style cod with a lemon slice, tomato and lettuce with mayo.
The second is a crunchy pork cutlet, BBQ sauce, lettuce, tomato, red onion. The rolls taste like fresh sweet egg rolls (no, not the deep fried ones you get with a lunch special from Panda Wok).
I think these sandwiches are usually $ 3.25 or something close to that. But during the closing sale its only $ 1.50 or $ 2.
We go here on a constant basis and will continue to do so. Overall, Prices are low, especially for the food quality you’re getting, and the selection is like nothing you’ve ever seen.
Worth Checking out.

I am fascinated with Asian bakeries, and this place does not disappoint. I’m always excited to buy and try unfamiliar pastries. Today, I stopped by after work, and picked up a 3 for $ 3 bag. Inside were two pastries that are savory with cheese and some kind of cured meat. I had to cut into the third pastry to find tuna salad in the middle. To me, it’s like getting the Dum Dum lollipop with the ??? wrapper. Luckily, I usually like what I find inside.
They have pre-​packaged sandwiches that are nostalgic because the crusts are cut off (something I first encountered during my childhood summer visits to Hong Kong). I’ve tried their egg salad, and ham with cucumber & mayo sandwiches. One of my biggest dislikes with pre-​packaged sandwiches sometimes is soggy bread. However, the 3 – 4 times I had it here, I have never encountered that problem. So, hats off to you YSH!
They have a nice selection of baked goods, and some very pretty desserts (which I have yet to try).
Remember, you can always ask what things are, and there are labels. Don’t be afraid to try something that might seem odd — cause it may turn out surprisingly good.

Very Nice Bakery Sandwiches Are Great Excellent Customer Service
Classic French with a Japanese twist Yokohama St. Honore is a unique bakery that at first glance offerings may seem a bit odd. All the traditional French baking techniques with Asian ingredients add to that the Japanese attention to detail and you have a real culinary treasure.
The sandwiches are great and the offerings diverse, the price is a bargain and quality high. Of course they come on fresh baked bread and are carefully crafted so the sandwich ingredients match the bread well.
So Whats With The Name?
History
St. Honoré (Honoratus) of Amiens is the French patron saint of bakers and pastry chefs, He is often depicted with a baker’s peel and loaves of bread or with a hand reaching from heaven to give him bread for Mass. He was the seventh bishop of Amiens in northern France and died sometime in 600.
A baker named Renold Theriens donated land to Paris for the construction of a chapel in honor of the saint in 1202. Around 1400, the bakers of Paris established their guild in the church of Saint Honoratus, they began celebrating his feast every year on May 16. In 1659, Louis XIV ordered that every baker observe the feast of Saint Honoratus, and give donations in honor of the saint and for the benefit of the community. Louis XIV should have mediated the Hostess Bakers contract

It’s surprising how different the service is between St. Honore and Italian Tomato right next door. I think they’re the same owner, since they sell the same cakes. The staff here is much more courteous and attentive. They started putting out new stuff like sandwiches ($ 3 each), and new kinds of sweet breads. It’s cash only.

Specializing in Japanese pastries and Danish-​style breads, Yokohama St. Honore is a real treat for anybody who comes strictly for their sweets. I didn’t try any of their sandwiches, but from the looks of it, they were selling like hot cakes, so they must be good. Maybe next time.
I’ve been here several times, as every time I’m visiting the North Jersey/​New York area, I always make an appointment to stop by Mitsuwa. Though the location of this place is adjacent to the market area, it attracts just as much visitors as the food court restaurants.
My favorites are the chocolate and cream swirl puffs, tuna and corn pastry, and curry doughnut croquette. Each and every pastry here has a fluffy and soft texture to the bread itself. When pressed into it, you can feel the springiness. Also, I like the fact that the pastries are not too rich, and the flavors are equally savory and sweet (depending on which kind you are eating).
As with most bakeries, the earlier you arrive, the more options you have. I haven’t been able to try their signature Kyoto Bologne bread, which is a danish-​style bread that is layered dough and baked in a loaf pan. I’ll have to act quicker next time. :)
So anyway, great little bakery shop in Mitsuwa Marketplace. It’s a nice reprieve from the hustle and bustle of the main food court during lunch hour (believe me, this place gets SUPER busy!). Stop on by if you’re wanting to escape the craziness of the food court, or to grab some savory and sweet bites to go for a road trip.
Don’t forget, cash only, and there is an ATM alongside the food court wing closest to the udon and katsu houses.

While the food selection isn’t overwhelming, it is perhaps the best alternative for a quick bite at Mitsuwa. One will not have to wait on the long lines during lunch hours, and the quality of the sandwiches and pastries definitely hold their own. The Califonia sandwich is one of the best in terms of freshness and taste, assuming that one doesn’t get picky about the fact that they are made with white bread. The sandwiches are addictive, so make sure you don’t overindulge while waiting for your actual lunch order from the main food stations!

Quality bakeries at affordable prices.
Located within the Mitsuswa marketplace area, this cash only establishment may seem like a risk, but once you have any of their first rate bakeries you shall know that it was worth all the risk.
I’ve had their Mango Mousse cake, Green Tea cake, and assortment of Japanese specialty breads and buns. Ranging from $ 2.75 — $ 4 per slice ($ 30 – 40 per cake), it’s a great buy just to try or to get that sweet fix you’ve been craving. Tax is included in the price so worry not about stiffing, «Uncle Sam.»
Yes they have sandwiches and such, which are not half bad, but it’s their cakes that are on the main display. Eat what they specialize in. Definitely one of the best Asian bakeries for cakes.

I’m writing this review based on the slice of chocolate cake that I just had. It was light, airy and just the perfect combination of cake and filling. The hint of white chocolate shavings was a perfect touch! It literally melted in my mouth. I cant wait to try their other cakes and pastries!

Another great shop in Mitsuwa that is known for their pastries and bread. My dad and I literally run to the shop when we get there, just for the Kyoto Bologne (bread).
This bread is unlike any other bread you may have. It’s soft, buttery, and fluffy, with crusty sides and ends because its baked in a loaf pan. We tend to pick at it with our fingers, rather than slicing it. But if you do slice it, I recommend toasting it. You get the real buttery flavor when its nice and hot.
The bakery only make a certain quantity of it, and they put it out on the shelves early morning (~10am), and again in the afternoon (~2pm). You seriously have to run and grab it off the shelf when you see it because there would be no more in the back. I learned my lesson on that one. For $ 7 (half a loaf), it best be delicious!!!

I love this place. I came here today and it was great :) i had the melon pan which was a bit on the plain side, I had the pudding which i thought was a bit bitter; but I guess that’s what it tastes like?
But the one that I loved the most was the cream puffs. After seeing Absolute Boyfriend (drama) and those cream puffs I had a urge to try them, and it was a good thing too. I bought one for $ 1.50, and shared it with my friend. the cream was sweet, but not too sweet, and it was so good. This place has fresh baked bread and so many varieties :) i have yet to try all the other pastries, but the cream puff is definitely my favorite.

The strawberry shortcake sells out fast! very much comparable to Café Zaiya’s in manhattan. $ 3.50 for a slice. light but filling.

Yokohama St. Honore is a Japanese bakery that can be found next to Italian Tomato in the New Jersey Mitsuwa Marketplace. It specialize in Japanese style bread and pastries, but is best known for their Kyoto Bologne, a danish-​style bread made by layering dough and baked in a loaf pan. You have to be quick to snag one, they usually sell out in a matter of minutes. There’s also a good variety of Japanese buns and sandwiches to choose from, I like their curry croquette bun ($ 1.6) and raisin ball ($ 1.5).
Overall, St. Honore is a great place to grab fresh Japanese bread or pastries. Do remember to bring cash, they don’t accept credit cards.
